Stabilo and Kiko Milano have launched a co-created lip collection that translates the recognizable shape of the Stabilo Boss Mini highlighter into a beauty product. The line includes five shades, each named with a phrase connected to writing and self-expression.
Stabilo described the project as a visible step in its move from a writing-instrument brand toward an emotional, lifestyle-oriented identity. Kiko Milano is described in the announcement as Italy's number-one make-up brand. Both companies frame the collaboration around a shared belief that creativity is a form of self-expression and that color can support confidence.
The collection centers on a reinterpretation of the Boss Mini form as a lip product. The five shades are Fine Print, a brown; Afterthought, a mauve; Don't Quote Me, an orange; On My Radar, a red; and Pink(er), a fuchsia. According to the companies, the names play on the language of writing and personal expression, while the palette invites consumers to explore color and individual style.
Michele Molon, CEO of Stabilo International, said the collaboration shows how two iconic brands from different worlds can challenge conventions and create something unexpected. He said Stabilo has helped people express themselves through color for generations and is now taking that spirit beyond the page. Simone Dominici, CEO of Kiko Milano, said the partnership is intended to push color and creativity further and encourage consumers to highlight their individual personalities.
The collection will be available in stores and online in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. It will also be offered through Kiko Milano's directly operated e-commerce platforms in Europe and the Middle East.
